For the last year I've been running a Texas sidecar on my Harley (we did a 14 day trip out west with it a real ball). But I've always thought my America would really work good with it. I finely got it on and took her on a little 25 mile ride this evening. And with just a littel leanout adjustment she sould do really good this year for me. You all know how low geared these America or looks like 3500 + R's at 60 mph right now. Rudy

From the Texas Sidecar site; too small but it's an idea of the look:

Thanks Mr. Dressler, that shot with the skillet makes me smile every time. Reminds me of this from Schoolhouse Rock:

Wasn't there a ba.com member from Iowa, no longer active in these parts, that installed a sidecar on his ba. I'm thinking 2003 or 04?? It was midwestern Mfr.

I've been doing a littel adjustment The America handel the Ranger really well with the wider handel bars, and about 30 lbs. exter in the sidecar and she stopes strate with front and rear brakes on. Now I want to see how much rear tire wear and and how many miles per gal. I think I'm really going to like it and I can carrey a kitchen sink as well.Rudyr
